About Afro Funke’​ ​Afro Funke’ which is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2023, was the brainchild of 3x GRAMMY nominated Afro Roots musician and activist, Rocky Dawuni, who realized LA’s need for a night dedicated to African music, culture and art and it’s far reaching legacy around the world.

  About Jeremy Sole ​

Jeremy Sole’s upbringing was seeped in the rich Chicago history of Blues, Jazz, Disco, Salsa and Soul – and he reveled in that space where they all blend together. As a teenager, Sole threw loft parties that were a culture clash during the birth of Hip Hop and House music. His obsession grew to include music from every corner of the world and, in 2001, Sole moved to LA. With a broad musical palette, he felt right at home in the spiciest melting pot in the country. ​ In April 2006, Sole was in the studio working with Ms. Lauryn Hill. After hearing him mix, she asked if he had ever considered getting into radio, “…because this is the music the people need to hear”. Months later, KCRW called to ask him that same question, and since then you can hear him Wednesdays from 12-3am on 89.9FM and KCRW.com.​​ https://www.instagram.com/jeremysole/​​ ​https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/jeremy-sole​​ ​

friday november 18 2022 was an epic day

[dayurno]

being genuine, is it not even the tiniest bit weird that senior thea and freshman kevin were hooking up? 23 and 18 ?

that is one year off the jerejean age gap

everyone knows jeremy allen white is an amazing dramatic actor but i also feel like his comedic acting is underrated as well.

you would have to be a great one after being on a wacky show like shameless for 11 years.

my favourite comedic moments with carmy:

1) in Hands when Richie and Carmy fight over caulk (😭😭😭) with sydney in the middle of it all. Carmys anger and him saying caulk over and over is just hilarious to me. and i’m fully convinced this is high on the list of why Jeremy, Ayo and Ebon all got Emmy noms bc the way they execute this scene…best trio ever

btw what s2 was missing was scenes with all 3 of them. i hope s3 brings them back as a trio, their scenes r the best

2) All of Dogs like….imo the funniest episode of the Bear period. Carmy getting into a fight with Richie (“name a cohort. name an associate. one fucking person, i dare you” LMFAOOOO). Carmy being annoyed with Pete. The Xanax incident. Gold

3) When Carmy and Claire go to that house party in Pop. Carmy pretending to be Logan was soooo funny to me. I die at the way he just goes along with it and really gets into spinning this lie. Great for him to get out of his comfort zone and just extremely funny

[orionchildofhades]

the polycules I would live and die for in aftg :

Allison-Renee-Kevin-Seth-Jeremy-Jean : not all of them are romantically or sexually involved with each other but their all very close and very much in love

Kevin/Jean/Jeremy - Jean/Renee - Renee/Allison - Allison/Kevin/Seth - Jeremy/Seth

Andrew-Neil-Kevin-Jean(-Jeremy?) : a lot of acceptance and understanding behind it all, also not all involved together but they would die and kill for each other

Andrew/Neil/Kevin - Neil/Jean - Kevin/Jeremy/Jean

Wymack-Abby-Betsy : indont have to explain myself

Dan-Matt-Neil-Allison : mostly deeply platonic (expect for Matt/Dan) with a lot of physical contact as a love language

[slozhnos]

listening to the last five years soundtrack again and it’s always an experience.

It's not exactly rare for Candace to weird Jeremy out. And. It's well deserved. Candace can be a little weird. Especially when things outside of her control are making her act strangely.

"Candace, you're really kind of freaking me out." and "Okay your kind of scaring me" are both lines that he has said.

But that is who he likes. The girl who is actively scaring him while she's flirting. (Not on purpose but still). But he still likes her anyway. No matter how creepy she may be acting due to lack of context on his side. Candace can thoroughly creep him out one moment. And then the next he'll be trying to kiss her.

While Candace freaks out over everything, Jeremy is one of the few people who can (sometimes) get her to chill out.

Meanwhile Jeremy is generally pretty chill. Not much rattles him. But the one of the only things that does is Candace. (And alien invasions apparently).

gender is crazy bc for all intents and purposes I am entirely a binary trans man but when I go to describe it I can only think of fuckign. wizards, right. scholars of old. skeletons, bones. I use he/him the way skeletor and wizards in towers w those long beards leaving the function use he/him
